Authors notes: Truth be told I was going to address the criticisms facing my story, but last week my friend and neighbor of sixteen years passed away. He was like a father to me, he taught me how to tie a tie and change the oil in my car, I in turn taught him about computers and how to use a smartphone. We had so many good memories, and it was with disbelief and sadness that I found him dead in his house. His death was preventable if he had only eaten healthier food and taken better care of himself. So I must ask that you all take care of not only yourself but those you care about. Thank you all for the reviews and have a nice day.

Chapter Four

Unspoken Feelings

"I'm scared!" Elsa shouted as she backed herself into a corner, a corner covered in ice. "My powers are getting stronger and Hiccup will be here any minute." She pleaded to her parents. Who were looking at their scared daughter with concerned looks.

"It will be alright, remember getting upset will only make it stronger." Adgar said to her as he tried to walk up to her.

"No!" She shouted startling him, "please I don't want to hurt you by accident." Elsa shrank back further into her corner, her closed fists brought up against her chest in a defensive posture.

Both the King and Queen were shocked at her outburst, but were more worried that she might hurt Hiccup by accident.

"Elsa as long as you wear the gloves Hiccup won't know that you have powers and thus you won't be able to hurt him;" Idun reassured her frightened daughter.

Elsa shook her heard. "But, what if the gloves aren't strong enough, what if the ice leaks out?"

"I will have more made, stronger and thicker gloves, everything will be fine Elsa" Agdar tried to comfort his eldest daughter.

"How do you know everything will be fine?" Elsa said as tears formed in front of her eyes, she moved from one corner of the room to the other, feeling claustrophobic.

"You have to believe in yourself to control your powers."

In the distance a loud horn could be heard signaling a ship was sighted.

"Oh no, it's Hiccup. What if he wants to hold my hand or hug me?" Elsa uttered while increasing her paces in the corner.

Her father looked at her and smiled, "then allow him to do so, you are becoming of age where those feelings will start to surface. Maybe in time you will share with him your powers. Believe in yourself and trust him." The King said as he hugged his daughter to him, the Queen joining in.

"Everything will be alright, as long as we are here, you will be safe."

"Alright." Elsa replied returning the hug.


"Elsa!" Hiccup shouted as he ran off the ship and threw his arms around his best friend.

Elsa slowly returned the gesture, unsure of herself and eyed her gloves to see if any magic leaked out. Nothing did, smiling she pressed herself into Hiccup more.

Pulling out of the hug, Hiccup looked up at Elsa.

"So how have you been since your last letter to me which was about six months I think." Hiccup asked while scratching the back of his head, a sign he was nervous.

Elsa smiled thinking back to the letters she had received from Hiccup, they brought warmth into her otherwise cold room. Oh how she wished she could take the warmth off the pages and wear it like a suit of armor. Whenever she read or wrote a letter, she felt better and more in control of her actions. "I have been well, nothing of significance really. I am learning to draw and paint, though I am horrible at it. Maybe you should take up the class while you are here." Elsa voiced her wishes to her friend.

Hiccup nodded in return, "maybe I will. I think I am good at drawing, but have yet to try painting. We don't have access to those materials on Berk, perhaps if I take some materials home with me, I can paint you a picture of Berk."

Elsa smiled at the idea, "that sounds like a wonderful idea."

Hiccup returned the smile, then he took a good look at his friend. His face turned crimson, "hmm, you are taller than me by about a good inch or two. You are also bigger." Hiccup said to her as he started to see the distinct changes from then and now.

Elsa returned the blush with one of her own; she too had noticed that certain changes were happening to her body. Such as an increase to hair over her body and that her chest was growing. She was thinking of asking her mother of helping her to shave. And one thing stood out most of all and that was that she looked at her friend Hiccup in a way that was foreign to her. She started to think about him more and more in ways that were not suitable for just friends.

"Elsa? Elsa?" She heard Hiccup ask, "Hmm, what?"

"You were just staring at me, though I don't mind since you were smiling the entire time, it did kind of scare me a little."

"Oh, sorry I was just thinking."

"I could tell; do you want to go inside?" he asked gesturing to the castle.

"Of course, let's go." Elsa said then began walking to the castle past all the merchants and guards with Hiccup close behind.

As they came inside Anna came out of nowhere and launched herself onto Hiccup who was knocked to the ground.

"Hiccup! I missed you so much!" Anna shouted as she latched onto Hiccup, hugging him.

Elsa just watched as her sister hugged her friend, but for some reason instead of smiling she frowned. She did not want to share Hiccup with anyone else even her own sister.

Anna got off of Hiccup and stepped back as he stood up, dusting himself off.

"Hiccup do you want to build a snowman?" Anna asked excitedly looking at him with wide eyes and a huge smile.

Hiccup was about to answer, but glanced at Elsa, who was frowning at them.

"Maybe later Anna, I just got off a ship that I had been on for nearly a week. But I promise to build one with you later this week." Hiccup replied smiling.

"Alright, but remember you promised." Anna said before skipping down the hall toward her room.

Elsa and Hiccup stared at each other for a moment, "are you okay Elsa? You were frowning the entire time Anna was hugging me."

"Huh? Of course, come on let's get you unpacked." Elsa said before grabbing his hand and all but dragging him toward her and his rooms.

Elsa could feel all sorts of emotions brewing inside her, but one thing she could feel clearly was that her hand had been previously cold which instantly went away when Hiccup gripped her hand in return. She suddenly felt better about herself and more confident. Perhaps she could trust Hiccup with her secret, since her powers lessened when he was near.

"So how are things on Berk, what have you been up to?" She asked wondering what had happened in between the last letter and now.

"Oh nothing much, I have started an apprenticeship under Gobber for being a blacksmith. You know build some muscle." Hiccup said as he put a hand around his arm wishing he had muscle there.

"Oh, good for you." Elsa replied with a chuckle.

"When will you start your training to become queen?" He asked setting his stuff down on the bed, then moving around the room to put things away.

"Not for another two years, on our next meeting we will learn foreign languages which we will use a lot when we become King and Queen" Elsa spoke before quickly adding "I mean Queen and Chief." She said trying to save herself from implying that they would be married or something.

Hiccup didn't speak for a moment, this worried Elsa. "Is he thinking that we would be together in the future?"

"Me? Chief? Are you joking? I would have to do some serious growing to become Chief, plus that training doesn't start for another six years, when I become sixteen. I'd rather explore than to rule over people." Hiccup said while laughing.

"Saved." Elsa thought before joining Hiccup in laughing.

Hiccup got onto the bed and patted the spot next to him after taking off his boots. He leaned back against the headboard waiting for Elsa to join him.

Elsa wavered and looked down at her hands before jumping onto the bed and taking the spot where his hand had been. Hiccup smiled at her and she returned it, before closing his eyes and resting against the soft pillow.

"Elsa, I know we are a little old for naps, but do you mind if I take one?" Hiccup asked sleepily.

Elsa looked at him for a moment wondering why he had invited her up only to take a nap a minute later.

"Umm, sure Hiccup." Elsa replied moving to get off the bed before she was stopped by Hiccup's hand on her shoulder.

"Can you stay? I know it sounds weird, but having you nearby has always made me feel happy and safe." Hiccup asked with a small blush.

Elsa's face turned bright red before she glanced again at her gloved hands. "Certainly Hiccup, anything for you." She leaned back against the pillow with her head resting against the quilted headboard. Hiccup put his head on her shoulder and closed his eyes before drifting off to sleep.

As she laid there with a sleeping Viking on her shoulder, who occasionally shifted closer to her from time to time. She had time to think about her friendship with said Viking. "He feels happy and safe with me nearby; usually I only instill fear into other people including my own family. What is he to me? Or a better question is what do I want him to be to me?I obviously like him; my own body seems to be telling me that. I mean whenever he smiles at me, I feel butterflies in my stomach and my face grows hot.Uggh, what is wrong with me? He is my best and only friend, I shouldn't be having these feelings for my best friend, and I need to speak to mom. Surely she will have an answer. Though maybe later, best enjoy the moment," Elsa thought before placing her head on Hiccup's and taking in his scent which smelled like mint and pine trees. "He smells nice, uhh there I go again."


A week passed by with amazing speed and Elsa was nowhere to be found, becoming bored he remembered his promise to Anna. "Hmm, I owe Anna a snowman," looking outside to see a fresh blanket of snow on the ground. He dressed in his winter clothes which included more furs than anything else. After pulling on his boots, he walked out of his room and saw Anna in the hallway talking to a painting?

"Hey Anna want to build a snowman?" Hiccup shouted down the hallway.

Anna's head whipped to the direction of Hiccup's voice and she jumped off the couch and leaped in his direction. Hiccup was taken aback by her enthusiasm and took a physical step back thinking she was going to crash into him, but thankfully she stopped only a foot from him.

"Really? You are not jesting?" She asked hesitant.

"Yes, of course. A promise is a promise and I don't break my promises that I make with my friends" Hiccup replied smiling.

"That would be most wonderful" she replied happily before taking his hand and pulling him into the gardens that was in the rear of the castle

Slowly but surely they gathered together snow and rolled it into three balls each a different size, one for the base, one for the torso and one for the head. They found some sticks that had broken off from a nearby tree; Anna went inside to get some coal and a carrot to act as some aesthetics. Hiccup looked around for a piece of ice to serve as the snowman's teeth, finding a recently fallen icicle; he broke it down to a manageable size. Returning to the snowman he found Anna had already returned and was waiting patiently for him to provide the final piece. After carefully aligning the teeth he clapped Anna on the shoulder, "All done, well what do you want to name him?"

"Hmm, how about Olav?" Anna asked looking up at him; at least he was taller than one person in the castle.

"Olav? Wasn't he the king of this kingdom a few hundred years ago?" Hiccup asked.

"Yes he was. Good to see you are paying attention at the tutor sessions." Anna responded with a knowing smile.

"Paying attention? Of course I listen, I love to read and learn. By the way how are you and Elsa doing, you two don't seem to talk much." Hiccup asked hesitantly.

Anna walked around the snowman to a bench that lay barren under an old tree. She sat down and patted the seat next to her. Hiccup walked over and sat down, looking perplexed by the attitude change.

"We don't talk much anymore; we don't even play together anymore. One day we were happy, playing together in the snow and the next she shut herself away in her room and didn't come out for an entire month. I asked mama and papa about it, but even they won't tell me, only something about teachings the first born must know in order to become queen. You are the only person she talks to besides our parents." Anna admitted before looking away toward Olav.

"She talks to me more than her own sister? Perhaps I should ask her about it. No, she didn't ask about my mom when she was taken by the dragons, I should respect her privacy. She will tell me when she is ready." Hiccup thought while looking at Olav too. It seemed he was basking in the last rays of the sun that was slowly setting behind the mountains.

"Well, it is getting late, want to go inside and have dinner?" Anna asked getting up from her spot on the bench.

"Certainly." Hiccup responded walking past Olav and tapping him on the head causing his carrot nose to fall off and bury itself in the snow below.


Elsa walked down the deserted hallway toward her parent's chambers. She was embarrassed and scared of having to ask these questions to her mother. The Royal Guards bowed their heads toward the princess and opened the outer door, which allowed her to walk up to the second inner door. She hesitantly knocked on the thick oak door, hearing a 'enter' she pushed the door open to reveal her father sitting behind a desk and her mother reading on the bed.

Her father had a frustrated look on his face as he held a piece of parchment. That piece of parchment had just arrived from Gothi telling him the same thing all her previous letters to him had said about how to control Elsa's powers. It was just a few words, 'Love will conquer all.' Needless to say Agdar was not amused. He asked for actual instructions on how to counter this curse. Even though she was born with these powers, they were nothing but trouble from that previous night on.

He had written to Gothi many times but each time she had written back with those four words, either she did not know to counter the curse or refused to help him. It wasn't like he could force Gothi to tell him, which in turn would ruin the alliance he had with Stoick. They were sending coal and oils to Berk while Stoick was sending back precious metals and dragon hides. Dragon pelts made amazing belts and furniture. Now he couldn't ask the trolls since they too did not have anything to give to his questions on how to be rid of Elsa's powers. He had fallen out of contact with them since that night at the Valley of the Living Rock.

Alas he would have to look elsewhere for help, perhaps to another country where they were more advanced in the art of sciences and medicine.

Idun looked up from her book and smiled "Elsa, what is it, is everything alright?" She asked gently to her eldest daughter.

"Yes, everything is alright, I was just wondering if we can talk privately?" She said gently casting her eyes to her feet.

Idun looked at her husband and wordlessly told him to leave the room so she and her daughter could talk privately.

Agdar got up from his seat with a sigh and walked out the door closing it behind him, letter in hand.

She patted the bed to get Elsa's attention; Elsa crossed the room and climbed onto the bed. She couldn't look at her mother; she was too embarrassed.

"Elsa, is this about your feelings for Hiccup?" Her mother asked, calmly taking Elsa's hair in to her hands and began to braid it.

Elsa's head shot up and looked at her mother in disbelief. "How did you know?"

Idun smiled knowingly and took her daughters' ungloved hand into hers. "Elsa, I know that your body is changing and so are your feelings for Hiccup. What you are feeling is love, which is perfectly normal for your age."

"Love? I don't love Hiccup, I can't love him, because he is my best friend." Elsa said pulling her hand away and crossing her arms.

"Elsa, you are very lucky to fall in love with a man before you marry him. I and your father were forced to marry each other before we really even knew the other. But, you get to know him for years before you two take that step." She told Elsa before she knew what she was saying, forgetting that she wasn't supposed to tell her till she was in marrying age.

"What?! Marry Hiccup? I can't marry my best friend; I am just developing these feelings." Elsa said as she started to stutter, ice slowly crept out of her hands and on to her gown.

The Queen looked at her daughter and decided to come clean, seeing that she had already come this far. "Elsa, when you were two years old we setup a marriage contract between you and Hiccup; but decided to let you two choose on when to tie the knot. Hiccup I am sure doesn't know about the contract just yet. Stoick will most likely wait till he has become an adult before he tells him of the contract. And you two don't have to marry immediately, you can take your time." She reassured her daughter by taking ahold of her hands, which caused the ice to recede.

"But still, he is my best friend" Elsa countered with a distraught look on her face.

Idun smiled down at her daughter trying to dispel the fear in her eyes.

"Elsa, do you really see yourself marrying anyone else? Even when you played with the noblemen's children before the incident, you were never interested in being friends with any of the boys. I have seen those looks you give him, you like him a lot and in time you will realize those feelings that churn in your stomach are actually love." She said tilting her daughters head up to look into her blue eyes.

"I developed the same feelings for your father. They were not all of a sudden, and they took time just like yours are."

Elsa looked back at her mother and smiled weakly, knowing that her mother knew how she felt and that it was perfectly normal to have such feelings.

"I understand that, but what is happening to my body?" Elsa asked casting a look down towards her chest.

"Elsa, I think it is time we have a talk about pubescence; get comfortable for this will a confusing and long talk." Idun said to Elsa who leaned back against the pillows.


Later that night, Hiccup and Anna were in the kitchen eating some chocolates and other sweets when Anna looked up from her plate and asked "So, what are you going to do for Elsa tomorrow since its February fourteenth?"

Hiccup looked up startled and dropped the cookie that was in his hand. He had been taught that the fourteenth of every February was Valentine's Day, a holiday that was meant to bring love to couples or for admirers to send flowers, sweets and cards to individuals they secretly loved. Now Vikings never celebrated these holidays, but Elsa and her family did. Which meant he had to find something for Elsa and quick.

"Oh no, I forgot about Valentine's Day." He said then smacked himself on the head with his hand. "I don't know what to give her. Flowers maybe?"

"We have some Purple Heather in our greenhouse." Anna replied after munching on some taffy.

"Greenhouse?" Hiccup asked.

"Yes, it's tucked away in the corner of the gardens. We grow herbs mostly for medicinal purposes."

"Well, that is a start, but I need more." Hiccup said to himself, he put a hand to his chin and wondered what else he could give to Elsa. "Is there anything besides flowers I could give her? What does she use most during the day?" He asked hoping to find out something that could he could possible make for Elsa.

"Well, you could give her chocolates and for some reason she wears gloves all the time. I tried taking them from her for fun, but she got really mad and swatted my hand away."

"Gloves? She wears them inside?" He asked interested in that Elsa wears gloves indoors, outside he could understand, but inside?

Anna nodded her head. "Uhhuh, she wears them everywhere she goes, I think she even wears them in the bathroom."

"Anna, I owe you another snowman." Hiccup said before taking off toward his room. When he arrived he took his crafting tools and set out for the main gates that were closed. He started to notice small things this visit that he hadn't noticed other times, such as that there were less people in the castle and most of the windows were closed. Not only that, but all the gates were closed with more Guards upon the ramparts than in the castle itself.

He found a Royal Guard on a patrol and asked him to take him to a leather crafter in the village. The Guard obliged and opened the gate, then escorted the young Viking to the only leather shop in the village. It was after hours and Hiccup had to hope that either the crafter lived in his workshop or he was working still. As he came upon the door he knocked three times, a moment later the door opened to reveal a rather old man who wore spectacles on the bridge of his nose.

"Sir, my name is Hiccup. I am a Viking from the Isle of Berk. I was wondering if I could use your workshop so I can make a present for Princess Elsa. I will pay you for the materials and time I use at your shop." Hiccup said in his most adult like voice.

The old man looked from him to the Guard to confirm this, the Guard only nodded back.

"Please, come inside young man; you too Sir." He said to Hiccup and the Guard.

Both moved inside with the Guard taking a seat in the back to keep a watchful eye on the young Viking, who if anything happened to him would probably create a real problem for the Guard.

"Now, what do you need from me?" The crafter asked ending down so he could look the young lad in the eye.

"I need some full grain leather, cashmere and some other things. I want to make some leather gloves for Princess Elsa."

"And if this is for tomorrow then we have a long night in front of us." The old man said as he got out his materials and started on creating the outline of the gloves, while Hiccup set to work on weaving together some cashmere for the lining.

Morning had come and gone as Hiccup put the final stitch into the gloves, which he then gave to the master crafter to inspect. He looked over the detail work and made sure it was breathable and would provide a good fit over the wrist and lower arm.

"This is one of the best gloves I have ever seen, you will become a fine leather crafter when you become of age" the older man said handing the gloves to Hiccup.

"What time is it?" Hiccup asked while rubbing the sleep out of his eyes.

The Guard looked outside at how high the sun was, "It looks to be about eleven o'clock Mr. Hiccup."

"Okay, I need to get back and have this wrapped with the other presents I plan to give her" Hiccup uttered as he put his tools away and reached into his pocket pulling out ten gold coins which he then handed to the old man. "Thank you for letting me use your workshop and your expertise." He formerly walked out the door with the Guard following close behind.

The old man looked down at the coins and squinted, his eyes widened realizing how much he had been given, "this will pay for enough material for the next month" he thought. He quickly went to the door and shouted "Thank you and come back anytime!"


The King and Queen were notified that Hiccup was out in the town working on Elsa's gifts, so they were not worried when he showed back up at lunch time covered in sweat and smelled of animal hides. They did tell him though to take bath before doing anything else.

Hiccup managed to get the flowers before going to the bath house all the while avoiding Elsa who was looking for him. While he soaked in the hot water, he had time to think of what to do next. "Right; after I dry myself and put on fresh clothes I will go to the kitchen and ask the chef to make an assortment of her favorite sweets.Then I will take everything and wait for her in the garden, she will surely find me there with Anna's help." Hiccup then scrubbed his skin with the bar of soap and rinsed himself with a fresh bucket that was brought in by the bath maid.

He got out and dried himself and put on his fresh tunic; he gave his dirty clothes to the maid and asked if she could wash them for him, she obliged.

Once he had gotten the sweets and had everything ready, he walked outside into the chilly afternoon air. Hiccup took in a deep breath trying to gather all his courage so he could ask Elsa to be his Valentine. The gifts and sweets were laid upon the bench as he waited for Elsa to come. He hard forgone his usual furs in order to look more professional, instead opting for a coat given to him by Elsa's mother as a birthday gift. Now he only need to was wait.

"Mama, do you know where Hiccup is?" Elsa asked her mother who was sitting down behind her husband's desk.

The Queen looked up from the piece of parchment that she had been reading, "I have not seen him all day, but I heard from one of the maids that he was walking toward the gardens." She replied with a small smile, knowing full well what his intentions were.

Elsa moved out of the room in search of Hiccup. As she was walking down one of the hallways that looked out upon the gardens, she caught sight of Hiccup sitting out in the cold as if waiting for someone.

As she pushed open the heavy oak door that led out into the gardens she saw Hiccup stand up and move toward her.

"Happy Valentines' Day Elsa" Hiccup announced as he took Elsa's hand and led her to the bench, sitting her down he handed her the flowers first. He was sweating profusely down his back instead of down his face for which he was thankful for at the moment.

"Thank you Hiccup." Elsa smiled as she saw that the flowers he had given her were the national flowers of her country, the Purple Heather. She looked down to see some sweets to which she took one and ate it, smiling as the still warm chocolate went down her throat and into her empty belly. "What's that?" she asked as she looked at the box wrapped in brown paper and tied up with string.

"It's your Valentine's gift" he answered as he gave her the package gently as if it was made of glass.

She gently untied the string and unwrapped the paper to reveal gloves, not just gloves but high quality leather gloves. "Does he know my secret?" Hiccup gazed upon Elsa's face and was put off by the fact that she was frowning. "Is something wrong?" He asked worried that he upset her.

"Oh, no, they are beautiful. But, why gloves?"

"Well, Anna pointed it out to me that you are wear gloves every day from dawn till dusk from what she could see. And I thought that sooner or later, they will become worn out, so I made you a pair that is strong and durable." Hiccup answered with a blush.

Elsa smiled back at Hiccup, touched that he had taken the time to make such a beautiful gift for her and was concerned for her wellbeing.

She took them out of the box, quickly took off her white gloves and put on the green ones. They went halfway up her forearm and were snug against the skin. She flexed her hands and fingers getting used to the new material. "They are amazing Hiccup, thank you so much." She smiled at him; tears coming to her eyes.

"I used cashmere for the interior and full grain leather to add toughness. The cashmere will wick away moisture from inside the glove so your hands won't get sweaty and will keep your hands warm and dry during the cold winter." Hiccup explained to her, she noticed how passionate he was about the gloves from the way he talked. One day he would become a master crafter, this she knew.

"I can make another pair for the summer if you want?" Hiccup said scooting closer to Elsa.

"That would be nice" she whispered, her face growing hot.

Breathing in and out slowly, he got ready for the big question. "Elsa? Will you be my Valentine?" Hiccup asked as he took her hand in his.

Elsa cast her eyes down at her hands, unsure of what to say. Hiccup gathering courage from God knows where reached up and brushed his hand against a gathering of hair and put it behind her ear. His hand lingered there before he slowly closed the distance between their faces to only a few inches. As her eyes glanced at the ground, Elsa noticed that ice was slowly moving from her feet covering the ground around them. Startled she shot up, knocking Hiccup back against the bench. "I'm sorry, I must go." Elsa said before taking off with the gloves and flowers in hand.

Hiccup could only stare and think that he had caused this. He took a piece of chocolate and ate it, trying to drown his sorrows in now cold chocolate, as if to add insult to injury. As he stood he slipped on the ice falling back first onto the ice covered ground, "Oh come on, why me?"

As he thought more and more about the way Elsa left, one question lingered in his mind "Where did the ice come from, it wasn't there when I sat down, did it come from Elsa? No way, that's impossible. Now the real question remains, am I good enough for Elsa to begin with?"


That question lingered in his mind for nearly three weeks; Elsa didn't talk to him after that day, which made Hiccup feel worse and worse with each passing day. Even in class, she didn't look at him let alone talk to him. Now, today was the day that he had to head back to Berk where no one loved or cared about him except for maybe his dad on a good day. He was just sitting on the wharf waiting for Gobber to dock the ship and lower the gangplank so he could go home and try and forget that he ever tried to kiss Elsa. As he was picking up his satchel he heard his name being called in the distance behind him, turning around her saw Elsa running toward him wearing the gloves he had given her.

Upon reaching Hiccup, she walked up to him and held his hand in hers.

"Hiccup, I am sorry about the way I acted on Valentine's Day, but I was never in a situation like that and so I didn't know how to act. I am also sorry for ignoring you for the past three weeks. I was just trying to gather together my feelings about you and I have come to a decision. Hiccup will you be my belated Valentine?" Elsa asked out of breath as she felt heat rise to her cheeks, whether it be from embarrassment, nervousness or lack of air she did not know.

Hiccup returned the blush; he tried to form words for a few seconds before he was finally able to squeak out a "yes" in reply.

Elsa bent down and kissed him on the cheek, letting her lips linger there before slowly pulling back. Hiccup's face was red as a tomato and with courage he didn't know he had stood on his tippy toes and kissed Elsa on her cheek. Now both were red faced, Hiccup gathered her into his arms and didn't let go until he heard Gobber yell for him.

"Till next time, I guess" Hiccup said with a soft smile on his face as he withdrew from the hug and put his satchel around his shoulder. "Yes, till next time Hiccup. Take care and write me if you can." Elsa replied in a happy tone, a tone he had not heard for some time.

"I will definitely write you and tell Anna that I will build a snow man with her on our next meeting, alright?"

"I will pass along the message, goodbye Hiccup."

"Bye, Elsa."

Hiccup walked onto the boat and watched the dock become smaller and smaller till he could no longer see Arendelle.

Elsa had one thought run through her mind as she walked back to her room, "Yes, I love Hiccup and he is the one I want to marry no matter what." She had a true smile on her face for the rest of the night, it seemed like for the first time in forever she felt that way about another person other than her sister or her parents; and she didn't mind that at all.
